You. Are. Brilliant. I've been doing leather work for a little over 2 years and I'm now just getting into tooling and Carving. I'm currently using the floral craft aids from Tandy due to my lack of artistic skills 🤣. And I'm beginning to learn the function each tool. After watching this video, coming into it with some knowledge of tooling, you have made the process much easier and simpler for me. Thank you. That's why you are a legend
Awesome video, as a novice no one has explained the use of the center shaders or crowners and undercuts as you. Kudos!! i have been using them wrong, til now, thank you so much.
Not going to lie. You are the man!!! I started leather work by watching totally different videos. I found you and I am hooked. Thanks for actually teaching. You rock.
Don, very instructional. It's nice when someone who has the skill is willing to take the time and show/explain each step. Being a beginner I appreciate it. Can't wait for more. Thank you.
I came across one of your videos and now I’ve seen almost all of them. Thanks to your videos I’ve ordered the tooling tools and some leather and I’m going to start doing leather work as a hobby if you could keep the videos coming and keep talking about the tools and what they are used for and all that good stuff it’s helping me out a lot thank you sir
Another 'sista' here, referring to Bethany Hamman's post 1 day ago! A leatherwork newbie here, and your vids have taught me so much already. Thank You for your time and knowledge!
I truly appreciate your detailed explanation Don, Your videos are the first formal education I’ve ever received. Your use of the under-cut tool was a huge revelation, amongst other things, I always wondered how Leather craftsman could make, and bevel those perfect tight radii. Your patience and detailed explanation is a gift to those of us that are rookies in this craft, but have a passion to learn and get better. Much obliged.
Damn, I love your style, Sir! I love learning from your in-depth videos, and it's only you and one other gentleman that I am watching, in order to build my skill-set. I am so new to this art, and I am already addicted to what you can do, just from watching you, Don! Thank you, so much! I am going to follow this series, as my very first Full-Blown piece! Let 'er rip, tater chip!
I have never tooled leather ever but have always been interested in the craft! I think with this tutorial it will be possible for me to begin a lifelong desire. thanks Sir!
Thank you Don. I have been trying to do this with a plain beveler and it has been a beating to the point I wanted to just stop doing any Sheridan work at all. I can’t thank you enough for sharing your time and skill. All the best!
I like your style, Im a fan of your work. I tooled your five flower pattern. I always wondered why I had a problem following along. I finally figured out your pattern thats is free is reversed. It always lost me trying to follow the pattern. Your a good teacher. Allan Hood
Appreciate you sharing your work with us I learned so much on these four videos of this pattern I bought two on OfferUp didn't realize I had most of everything that you have shown in these videos thank you
Because its a cheater tool! For those who dont know how to use the small beveler!! Lol just kidding. But i know what mean, i dont believe Tandy or any of the common craft tool makers sell "crowners" its an uncommon tool. In Al Stohlman's books he uses either a camouflage tools or a viener to get the same effect. I ended up just sanding down an extra camo i had laying around. Im indifferent towards them.
Great great video...got me some tools to buy now for sure. You are a master craftsman Don.. I just love your work. Professionalism at it finest. Thanks again for another quality video. I've learned so much from watching your videos!
This is a fantastic format, thanks for posting! Really can easily follow what you are doing. I had no idea about using the undercut bevelers for anything but the edges of flowers. And no idea what the crowner was used for. OH Barry King Tools here I come.
Great video. For years I used a basic Craftool set from the early sixties and learned to carve and stamp with them. Recently I tried some Barry King tools. They are awesome!
absolutely loved it i have learned in the last 28 minutes than all the tooling i have been doing in the past years please do more greatstuff as always Mr Gonzales
Thank SOOOOOO much. I'm new to this Art form and have so many questions. You have answered many of them. I hope you continue with these work along series.
I been buying tools to work on leather later this year. Spending time watching and learning now. Really appreciate the effort you donate on this tooling project. Thanks
Finally another tooling video, been waiting for this. I binge watched all you other tooling videos. The leather parts video was great info, but tooling is still my favorite. Especially the way you explain things and this video was just awesome in that regard. Why you haven't got more subscribers is a mystery to me.
I'm late to the party.....but I'm really learning a lot. The tools that you mentioned I wasn't aware of. I'll be placing an order for them. Thanks Don.
Don, this is one of your best videos. I'm looking forward to the rest of the series. I just learned more from this video than I have from any of the many videos I've watched before. One suggestion: if you could provide links to the tools you used in this video, it would be very helpful. From some of the comments it seems that others including myself are having trouble finding the exact tools you used. Your work is very much appreciated!
Don, thanks for sharing your experience and secrets for success and productivity. From the hobbyist's perspective, you're video mentoring sessions are so thorough and well done that you relieved all fear of tackling even a Sheridan project. Now a stoked basket weaver with lofty goals...appreciate you!
I really like and appreciate your videos. They have all given me tips to improve improve. I've just started learning to carve leather to step up the craftsmanship of the stamping that I have been doing on my knife sheaths.
Don, I can't tell you how valuable these videos are to me. Being self taught I learned most everything I do know from books, and have only recently discovered some really great instructional videos on RUclips. Thank you very much for your generosity.
U are my favourite bro love your work brother. So happy I came across you want to start working with leather. I am a whakairo indigenous Maori carver and would love to add my own indigenous patterns to leather work as well as tooling great mahi Maori ora!
Thank you so much for these video. I need to get some more tools. Can’t wait to see all of the videos and I would also like to see how you would dye and paint this even though you have other similar videos.
Hello Don, Been watching you for sometime now and have really improved my tooling.. I just thought I could use a swivel knife right up to the point of trying my hand at the Humming Bird Swivel Knife Finesse out of the Leather Crafters & Saddlers Journal. I downloaded this pattern and now looking for a couple of the stamps and follow along with your videos. Planning a bike ride over your way this summer and hope you have a chance to stop by. You can't sell my wife more than I can carry on the bike. Thanks for all you time and videos.
Don, when you say "flower center liner," do you mean Barry King's "flower center shader?" I looked all over his site and I don't find a center liner, but I DO find a center shader and it kinda looks like what you're using up there in the vid (5:20).
This is awesome! Thank you SO MUCH for taking the time to make this. Even for someone who has a few years experience it is still super helpful to see your way of doing it, especially your “order of operations” so to speak. So happy you’re doing this series. You really have an easy relaxed teaching style. 👍🤗😊
I watched you tool each flower one at a time turning your leather many times. I speed the process up by tooling the flower pedals that face the same direction on each flower. You end up turning your leather only 4 times. The same is true when you get to the bevelers.
Brilliant, I use procreate but getting used to it has been hard. Thus has helped massively. How do you print your custom canvasses on your printer as mine always fills the A4 paper. Thanks

I have tooled for years but this really helps me look at tools I have in a new and more useful way thanks
I have to say that your tooling videos have some of the best camera angles of any I’ve seen. Great video Don!
Thanks! It’s a big learning curve for this ole leather slinger!
I have never tooled leather ever but have always been interested in the craft! I think with this tutorial it will be possible for me to begin a lifelong desire. thanks Sir!

Barry King makes a nice set if you ur willing to spend the money on them, in case you were wondering where to find them.
Things make so much more sense after watching your videos. Thanks for putting out such great content
Don, you are so generous with your time and talent, thanks! Love the crowner out of a camouflage tip.
Awesome video, looking forward to the rest of the series

Thank you for your time and explanations. So very informative! Thank you thank you
Great video. Many useful tips, well explained. Thank you.
Great video and beautiful work.

Also, is there another term for the undercut stamps? I can't find those, either...???
Awesome video Don, Ive never seen a crowned before, Im off to grind up an old cam.
Much appreciated.
Really enjoyed this and learned a lot. Thanks.
Awesome Don!!! I learned a whole lot!!!
